P160C
From Spacefaring
The P160C is a solid-fuel rocket motor developed for use as the first stage of the Vega C+ mid-life upgrade, the next-generation Vega E, and as strap-on boosters for the Ariane 6 Block 2 launch vehicles. It was developed by Europropulsion, a joint venture between Avio and ArianeGroup, for the European Space Agency (ESA). The designation "P160C" reflects key characteristics of the motor: "P" stands for poudre, referencing its solid propellant; "160" denotes the original target of 160 tonnes of propellant ; and "C" signifies its common use across multiple launch systems.
